Teenage forward Zach Clough is out for the season as Bolton delivered a bleak injury update on all three of the players withdrawn before half-time in their midweek draw with Reading.

Neil Lennon's side, who already had a lengthy casualty list, will be without Clough (shoulder) and full-back Kevin McNaughton (fractured leg) for the closing months of the season while central defender David Wheater (hamstring) will miss the bulk of Bolton's last 11 fixtures.

Clough has been a bright spot for Lennon's men since bursting onto the scene with a virtuoso display on his debut in the FA Cup third-round victory over Wigan back in January.

The 19-year-old followed that up with a brace on his Sky Bet Championship bow against Wolves and his tally for the season will finish with six goals in 10 games.
